Why would a "content pack" for an Early Access game be anything other than free? Isn't "content pack" just another word for "we've finished another part of our incomplete game and so we've added it into the game?"

Yep, it's pretty much The Specialists: Source. Also, it's really awesome - I've been playing since... beta or alpha or omega or whatever and it has been fun all the while. The community has never been TOO small but now that it's on Steam hopefully we'll get even more players.

He launched NS2 with just the classic game mode (which is only appropriate for organized teams) and it bombed.

Huge, huge, huge missed opportunity given how good asymmetrical gameplay can be, how he helped define some modern ideas about it, and how big it is getting NOW.

You're wrong about almost everything, except that NS Combat was more popular. That's true. But popular doesn't mean better, you know...

I think characterizing it as $35 just for "this" is kind of silly, given that you also get the full game when it comes out and every version between this and the full game.

So for instance if you're sitting in a movie theater having payed $15 for tickets and $5 for snacks and you're watching a stupid trailer and you've only eaten a bit of your snack and you go "$20... for this? Lulz" I take it we would think you were a bit of a dope.

This is a really great mod. It more or less captures the joys of playing The Specialists back in the Half-Life 1 days. It has a nice little community of players too. Can't recommend it enough. Once it gets on Steam I hope it'll get even more popular.

This is like a parody of bad video game trailers. Someone really likes this song but couldn't figure out how to make it fit with a trailer so they just told the animators "just like, put a bunch of characters in and make them shoot at stuff." Not to mention it doesn't tell us anything about the game, but then again, asking for a trailer to tell us anything is probably a lost hope by now.

I think it's interesting that you'd describe your best game as the one where you got a lot of XP, and get mad over losing the XP, rather than describe your best game as the one where you had the most fun (and no server crash can take that from you). I think it's sad that gamers these days play Battlefield games to unlock guns and earn XP instead of to do the thing that has made the series great since BF 1942, which didn't have any unlocks.
